Brock Lesnar On WWE's 'Ban List' After Scandal? Explosive Claim Surfaces
Former UFC champion Daniel Cormier made a stunning revelation about Brock Lesnar's current status in the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Cormier believes that Brock may not return to WWE and even went on to say that the multiple-time champion is currently on the company's 'ban list'. Brock has not featured in WWE since August 2023 after his loss to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam. Brock was reportedly going to make his return at 2024 Royal Rumble but it did not materialise and several fans were of the opinion that the decision was impacted by the Janel Grand lawsuit. Lesnar was named in the sex trafficing lawsuit along with Vince McMahon and he has not featured in WWE ever since. "Brock [Lesnar] is on the ban list right now. Oh dude, Brock got in so much trouble. I ain't telling you on air what Brock did. Brock is so much in trouble," Daniel Cormier said on the 'Mighty' Podcast. Meanwhile, CM Punk launched a surprising verbal rant on Dominik Mysterio and called him 'illiterate'. Dominik has taken shots at Punk by calling him 'old' over the years but it was the first time that the veteran wrestler replied as he said that Dominik has no idea what his own tattoos mean. "A lot of people don't know he does that because a lot of the tattoos he got are misspelled because Dominik can't read," Punk said. While the spat between Punk and Dominik has mostly been verbal in the recent past, this can be the start of a rivalry. "I hate CM Punk, why, because he's old, he disappeared for what, 30 years, and came back and he's now what, 60, and he's still wrestling, he tortured me when I was a I was 12 years old, and he was probably like 45 at the time, maybe 50 - I just don't like CM Punk, he traumatized me as a kid, who does that to a 12 year old, what's wrong with him," Dominik had earlier said.

Rey Mysterio vs. Dominik Mysterio: Net Worth Comparision, Current Salary, Contract Status and More
Rey Mysterio vs. Dominik Mysterio (Image Source: Getty) Both Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik Mysterio have made it to WWE, but their paths could not be more different. Rey has been a pro for over 30 years, while Dominik has made a name for himself after debuting in 2020. With both of them practically staples now on WWE programming, it kind of has everyone wondering exactly how well the duo is doing, what they're getting, and on what sort of deal. Here is a complete breakdown of how father and son go head-to-head. Rey Mysterio's finances and contract status Rey Mysterio's current net worth as of 2025 can be estimated to be around $10 million. A lot of this wealth comes from his decades of interning in WCW, WWE, and other global organizations. He has a base salary with WWE of around $174,000 a year, along with additional income from sales of merchandise, licensing deals, and bonuses from special events. Rey is still active and still signed to WWE in the SmackDown brand, even as a WWE Hall of Famer. He is under contract through at least the middle of 2025. Dominik Mysterio's wealth, salary, and contract update Dominik Mysterio, despite being a relative newcomer to WWE, had built an estimated fortune of approximately $2 million. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 드디어! 2025년 최고의 전략 게임을 무료로 플레이하세요! Raid: Shadow Legends 플레이하기 Undo His yearly salary, now around $350,000, indicates his growing worth on the WWE roster. Especially after he won the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 41, Dominik, with the increase in pay-per-view bonuses and merchandise sold, has made a considerable amount of money. By his return in 2023, Dominik had signed a new WWE contract that is speculated to extend over a multi-year period, which may see him with the company until or around 2028. While specific details aren't immediately available, his new deal probably features performance incentives and a few increases at strategic points along the way. Dominik lives in Chula Vista (in the upscale part that Rey lives in) and owns the BMW 3 Series and BMW i8 (in the alias sets). Oddly enough, Dominik's earnings from wrestling go back to when he was just a child. He earned around $5,000 per segment, reportedly, when he was used early on in storylines in the mid-2000s. Final comparison and what lies ahead Rey Mysterio is still the richer of the two, with decades of experience and a name that keeps raking in the coin on T-shirts and brand deals. Dominik, however, is still getting started. That base salary is also higher than expected, but WWE is investing in his future as a superstar.

I think that once my son started to wrestle, that kind of pushed me to continue, 'cause I was really getting very close to calling it quits, but that just kind of gave me that second wind, and it pushed me to keep going. To be honest, I know I'm going to still enjoy it when I retire, but I'm going to have to tap out. I still love what I do and I always have.'

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Rey Mysterio has confirmed that the end of his legendary in-ring career is fast approaching. In a recent interview, the WWE Hall of Famer opened up about his motivations for continuing to wrestle and his thoughts on retirement. Speaking on the LA PLATICA podcast in June, Mysterio admitted that he is very close to hanging up his mask for good. However, he revealed the one person who gave him a "second wind" and pushed him to keep going. The Influence Of Rey Mysterio's Son Mysterio explained that his son Dominik's entry into the wrestling business is what has kept him in the ring. He said he was very close to retiring before Dominik began his own career. "I think that once my son started to wrestle, that kind of pushed me to continue, 'cause I was really getting very close to calling it quits," Mysterio said. "But that just kind of gave me that second wind, and it pushed me to keep going." Even with this renewed motivation, Mysterio acknowledges that his time is limited. "I'm going to have to tap out," he admitted. "I still love what I do and I always have." A Father-Son Saga The relationship between Rey and Dominik Mysterio has been one of WWE's most compelling long-term stories. They made history in 2021 by becoming the first-ever father-son tag team champions in WWE history. However, their alliance famously imploded when Dominik turned on his father to join the heel faction, The Judgment Day.

This led to a deeply personal and emotional feud between the two. The rivalry culminated in a high-profile match at WrestleMania 39, where Rey defeated his son. This complex journey, from partners to bitter rivals, is the "second wind" Mysterio refers to, as it gave his legendary career a new, personal chapter.

"[WWE said] 'Like no, we're presenting this to you.' So truly honored to have been considered, you know, one of the Hall of Famers." This honor solidifies his legacy as one of the greatest high-flyers of all time, even as he prepares for his final chapter. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.
